Early Career Geoscience Faculty: Annual Workshops

Annual Workshops

Each summer, we offer a multi-day workshop in a stimulating and resource-rich environment where early career geoscience faculty members participate in sessions on topics including effective teaching strategies, course design, establishing a research program in a new setting, working with research students, balancing professional and personal responsibilities, and time-management.

Participants of these workshops must have a full-time faculty position at a two-year or four-year college or a university at the time of the workshop and must be in their first three years of full-time teaching.
